Tires have a better heating value than biomass or coal, and they contain a high content of volatile gasses. A prototype plant is now under construction at the ENEA facilities in Trisaia in Southern Italy. Europe’s tire waste production is 3 million tonnes per year; currently 65% to 70% of used tires end up in landfills.

CH 4 is mainly generated by agricultural activities, the production of coal and gas, as well as waste treatment and disposal. In the EU, 60% of the CH 4 and N 2 O emissions are emitted by the top six emitting countries: Germany, UK, France, Poland, Italy and Spain.

Coal – the cheapest option and the only energy source with low-cost storage in the shape of a big heap of the stuff – was ruled out as too carbon-rich, even though countries such as China are currently building scores of new coal-fired plants. Gas is the only answer. So that leaves gas with the task of keeping the lights on.

Spain, Italy and the Netherlands accounted for the largest increases in greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. In spite of the increase in emissions, the carbon intensity of the EU energy system declined due to higher shares of renewables and gas relative to coal in the overall fuel mix.

The decade-long nationwide slide in emissions from power production reflects the electric power sector shifting away from coal and toward less carbon-intensive fuels. Other highlights of this year’s Green Innovation Index include: In 2016, energy-related carbon dioxide emissions in the US were 12.5% below their 2006 levels. from 2014 to 2015.

That would pave the way for eventual scale-up to capturing CO 2 from natural gas plants, which produce emissions containing about 5% CO 2 , to the higher concentrations of coal-fired power plants. The researchers are also hoping to develop something that might be tested in a submarine. We got lucky.
